At the moment Obama is the only leader of the Democrat Party of note! Now with an approval rating of 50% and dropping like a rock every time he speaks, who will lead the Democratic Party? Pinched Faced Pelosi, Killed Her Kennedy, Turbin Durbin, not Dead Pan Harry, Biden would be okay I guess. :doubt:
 
The question however is how will the Republicans avoid pulling a John Kerry in 2012?

What do you mean? I do agree that Obama is it, I was just making the point that after Obama it gets really weak!
 
Isn't it the democratic party?
Well ya, no bout a doubt it, but I was taking about their fearless leadership!
 
Since there is no "Democrat" party, unless the "Democratic" party decided to shorten their name while I wasn't looking, I guess nobody.

Lumpy, he isn't at 50%. This is only the latest in a long string of Republican fantasies.
 
Thanks for asking...
Right now President Obama will lead until 2016
President Hillary Clinton will take over until 2024
and then President Michelle Obama will lead until 2032
 
Obama. He's president. He's gonna have to lead even if his popularity is down to negative seven, until he's voted out of office. The question however is how will the Republicans avoid pulling a John Kerry in 2012?

Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee

I hope to God it's Romney. As an Arkansan, I can tell you that Huckabee should burn in hell.

I agree about Romney. Huckabee was really making some dumb moves and comments in 08. He was protrayed as an extreme religious righter and he was just done after that.

He should have gone with the just plain folk personna, it's more him! Still, he might have been a better candidate than McCain. We'll never know.
 
Romney was anything but "plain folk" but of all the republicans in the running he had the most credibility on economic issues. Not sure he would've won against Obama but I thought he would've been their best choice. Then again I thought McCain would've shown more of what he was in 2000 when I voted for him in the primary. That was my mistake.

A Romney/Palin ticket might have worked but then again people wanted change you can believe in! Gee, I would bet most people can't believe what is happening now.

As a former Arkansan, I agree - Huckabee is a piece of trash. Among other things, what kind of "leader" calls his own State a banana republic on national tv? And that's just the tippy top of a very large iceberg. Romney has the economic skills, but can he overcome the religion issue and the flip-flops on policy (unless of course Obama tanks enough for a blind and deaf squirrel to beat him)?
Either way, '12 is a long way off. Hillary and Rudy had a great '08 barnburner, didn't they? :razz:
